The Philadelphia Multi-Cultural Carnival Association (PMCCA) is a non-profit Community Development Corporation founded in 1999. The organization is dedicated to promoting the Caribbean Culture through artistic expression of music, dance and art form.
It was formed to bridge the gap and foster an atmosphere of cooperation and cultural understanding between the diverse Caribbean ethnic groups that reside in the Greater Philadelphia area and the Delaware Valley. To that end, PMCCA’s mission is to develop and provide arts-based community and public school programs to educate youth, adolescents and adults about the richness of the Caribbean culture.
The annual Philly Carnival is used as the catalyst to stimulate interest, encourage involvement, and to showcase the educational components of Caribbean art forms and culture through this celebration of life and freedom
